Book 18: Chapter 12


    Dont tell me you brought our daughter because you were feeling aroused.


    I rubbed my lower back and struggled to my feet. The first round of romping feels amazing, but once you do it an excessive number of times, it bes torture. Ling Yue was Nier-fied that night. She was easier to deal with than Nier, but she quickly recovered between bouts, where she would then begin squeezing another load out of me again. It was impossible for us to go just one round.


    Ling Yue giggled. She wrapped herself up in my cloak while on the sofa and looked at me with an infatuated faze. With a smile, she responded, I cant help it. Its what nature bestowed me with. If I donte to you during this period, I wont even be able to eat. I can only feel at ease when Im by your side.


    All right, then. Ill let Nier and Lucia go to Troy City first, and wait for me. I have to head to Troy City for the conference very soon. What a drag. Im in meetings here. Then, I have to go to Troy City for more meetings. I really dont want to hand this matter over to Mommy Elizabeth. She is the ruler of humanity, after all. She has to fight for benefits for her nations merchants.


    Ling Yue narrowed her eyes: No matter the case, dont forget the profit for the North. The anthropoids may number few, but the fur is a treasure that this world gifted us. All citizens pay taxes to you, and soldiers have not fled. The people have fulfilled their duty to you. You need to protect your people as their King.


    Once upon a time, capitalists were forever our enemy. Now, Im speaking up for them and fighting for their profit. I feel as though Im betraying my homnd.


    What are you talking about?


    Sorry, I was talking to myself. Pretend I never said anything.


    I stood up. Ling Yue was nude, so I couldnt take my cloak from her. I pulled open the door. I saw Freyaing over from the end of the corridor. Freya was evidently surprised to see me. With a smile, she asked, Is the fox already satisfied, Your Majesty?


    I guess so.


    Miss Luna has already prepared breakfast for you and Miss Ling Yue. Do you want to eat in the dining hall, or would you like to have it brought here to eat with Miss Ling Yue?


    Ill go to the dining hall. While were at it, fill me on the discussion yesterday. Im positive you didnt just head back and sleepst night. Did you go and see someone? Do you have some good news? Oh yeah, wheres Irina? Has she left?


    Yes. Miss Irina ns to return to the North today. However, she has told me where there is an abundance of fur to be found. Humans and our people have yet to find the ce. It is said that there plenty of furry animals there. Yesterday, I secretly shared the information with both of the businessmen. In order to find the location, they have begun to lower their terms and conditions.


    I nodded then went into the dining hall. Freya reported, The Norths businesses representative stated that, if they could be permitted to hunt there, they will agree to our terms, raise the current cost of it by twenty percent, and buy the area out. On humanitys side, they stated that, if they could obtain the rights to the area, then they will sell half of the fur to us at a slightly higher price.


    Your Majesty, sometimes, being greedy is not ideal. If we insist on getting involved with this as the imperial family, we may very well cause the businessmen to raise their fists at us. It is, therefore, best for us to not get involved with that piece ofnd. If we forcibly dere ownership of thatnd, it will only result in both parties abandoning us. Subsequently, we should not get involved with the fur trade.


    We can choose to share the location with neither of them, though.


    Hehe, how about we tell both parties, then? Is it not true that humans like intensepetition? Why not let them have a taste of what intensepetition is? We can give them the location, and then the Norths businesses will fight them for it, correct? The area is outside of our jurisdiction. That will be where we perfectly expose the businessmens evil natures. Afterwards, they will continue to escte the situation, thereby giving us a reason to get rid of both parties. All we need to do is light a small me.


    Mm, thats a great idea. Hence, we will have a reason to im the right to the piece ofnd. In saying that, I havent thought of who to assign to its operations. Alex? Frankly, the winged race doesnt have a very good reputation in anthropoid society, do they? Will the anthropoidsin if we let him run the ce?


    The winged race was in charge of fur trade during the anthropoids rule, though. Moreover, has Alexs poor reputation not improved thanks to him taking on the role of governor of Troy City? Alex does not appear to be the type who wouldmit bad deeds. The incident with the winged race is long in the past. It stopped bothering the popce long ago. I do want to give the Moon Fox Tribe another business. If I did that, nevertheless, Ling Yue would have to go there, would she not? I do not think you can ept her moving all the way there when she is currently close to the Imperial City. Not to mention that she would have to take Liu Yue along with her.


    Freya, you really are a genius. You took everything into ount.


    Freyaughed. She then gracefully bowed: Of course, all of my efforts are for you. I am already very content to have your support. Thank you very much for your trust. I promise to hand everything over to you in the future.


    Haha. I rubbed my sisters head with augh.


    If Nier and Lucia had finished up their work and were living the life of a Consort in peace, Freya wouldnt be so rxed. Freya was better considered as my resource. Whenever I was absent, Freya always helped me with work. For the record, I never revived her household. Actually, itd be more urate to say that her household already changed. Her previous household was already no more. She had two families. One was the Rosvenor family, while the other was the Hilles City family. Both of them were her families. If she wanted to revive her household, she already seeded.


    Lets get going, then, Freya. Today is thest meeting. After this meeting is over, well need to head to Troy City. I hope we can finish swiftly this time. I havent felt so irritated in a long time. This current matter is seriously getting on my nerves. Am I getting old?


    Freya softly chuckled. Luna, who stood to the side with a new cloak for me,


    draped it on my shoulder. She then touched my cheek and smiled: What are you talking about? You are still very young. It is just that this matter happens to beparatively annoying.


    Mm


    Let us go, Your Majesty. This is ourst time seeing those people. I am already annoyed.
